Hearing that Phish will be announcing tour dates this week

I have heard from a few friends that are usually pretty on point with their predictions regarding phish tours that 2 nights at Lakewood in Atlanta is almost certain.

They also think that there is a very good chance they go to birmingham for a night after that (would kind of surprise me but I'm not pretending to have any info). I assume that means oak mountain but I guess it could be downtown as well.

I'm usually the same way. With the lack of consistent jamming recently though, I took some of my favorite bits from the end of 2012 and mixed them together. It was the first time I had done it and I think it sounds pretty good.

And I dont think it is the crowd. I don't think that festival can really afford phish at this point. I mean they only sell what 30,000 tickets? It wouldn't be worth it to put up the money for phish when you couldn't even hold the people you are trying to attract.

Unless the promoter is a huge phish fan and just wants them in his festival which I doubt.

Hangout can definitely afford Phish. Phish would never play at a same venue as TAB, that just doesn't make sense. I see Phish being there eventually, but a 1 set Phish show is like only inserting the tip. However I'm perfectly fine if I'm wrong about this

If you had read the post you could have seen where I said it is not a financially sound decision, which it is not. Why pay the price tag for phish when you won't even be able to sell tickets to most of their fans?

Unless of course the guy running the show simply wants to have phish in the festival.
